"Y/N-chan ever thought about becoming our manager?"
"Ever thought about your fan girls Oikawa-san?"
It has been a week since Oikawa and Y/N met. From that day, her time in school revolves around the volleyball team. She would walk to school together with Oikawa and Iwaizumi, hang out with the team during lunch, watch them practice from the bleachers and then walk to home with the captain.
All three of them were walking to the school when Oikawa brought up the topic of team's manager. Obviously, she refused given how scary his fan girls are and God knows what they would do to her if she became the manager.
"But Y/N-chan! You are literally the most suitable candidate for the manager," Oikawa whined while she had her eyebrows furrowed.
"How am I the most suitable candidate for the manager?," She re-quoted his words.
"Look, you get along well with everyone on the team. You have knowledge of the game. You know a few things about first aids. You have already given us some advices on our playing style during lunch," He counted the reasons on his fingers.
"Well he is right. You should consider our offer," Iwaizumi intervened since Oikawa's reasons were satisfactorily correct.
"I have an idea. Give it a try today. Then, tell us your confirm answer." Y/N sweat dropped at the eager look at Oikawa and Iwaizumi, who was trying hard not to show it.
"O-okay."
Oikawa laughed and ruffled her hair while Iwaizumi just chuckled.

"L/N are you coming or not?," Kindaichi called out as she hastily made her way to the volleyball duo.
The trio strolled down the hallway to reach the gym. Y/N watched a bunch of girls rushed past them squealing and screaming to watch their idol play.
Her eyes subconsciously lit up at the sight of a familiar brunette chatting with his best friend. A small smile made its way on her face as she walked towards the rest of the team.
Oikawa turned around when he noticed Iwaizumi looking past him. His eyes lit up and he jogged upto the trio with a volleyball in his hand.
"Y/N-chan!!"
He jogged over to them with Iwaizumi trailing behind. She waved at them while Kunimi and Kindaichi went to the locker room.
"Y/N-chan, let me introduce you to the coach!"
She noticed a middle-aged man sitting on the bench watching the practice. She followed Oikawa as they walked towards the coach.
"Sensei meet Y/N-chan. I told you about her."
The coach turned to her. His gaze made her nervous and she fiddled with her fingers. But soon, his expressions softened and her nervousness died down a little.
"Good Afternoon, Sensei. I am Y/N L/N." She introduced herself.
"Good Afternoon. Take a seat." He gestured towards the bench. She nervously nodded. Oikawa patted her back before muttering a small 'It's alright' and went to the team.
Oikawa distributed the members in two teams for a practice match. Iwaizumi, Mattsun, Kunimi and Kindaichi in one while Oikawa, Makki, Watari and Yahaba in other.
"Oikawa told me that you know a lot about volleyball." A gruff voice spoke from beside her. She turned to the coach.
"Ah yes. My grandfather was a volleyball coach." She smiled at the memory of playing volleyball with her grandfather and her cousin. She made a mental note to make a call to her cousin. The coach blew up a whistle indicating the start of the match.
Her black eyes watched as Oikawa took his place in the back line, looking calm and concentrated. It was an entirely different side of him which was intriguing. He tossed the ball in the air and took a few steps before jumping and hitting the ball with a great force making it zoom past the players and hit the floor on the other side of the court scoring a point for his team.
His monstrous serves were a sight to behold. It was the only thing she always looked forward to watch in every practice. The force, accuracy and control were astounding. The serves were the proof of his hard work because they couldn't be mastered to that accuracy in a day.
She watched as Oikawa effortlessly tossed the ball to the spikers making it seem easy for the viewers. His face had a satisfactory smile whenever they scored a point, which in turn made her smile.
The practice ended. Some of the players laid flat on the ground catching their breathes. Y/N immediately distributed water bottles and towels to everyone along with some compliments.
"Y/N-chan! How was I today?" Oikawa walked upto her with a towel hung around his neck and a bottle in his hand. She smiled at him.
"You did well. You serves are thrilling as usual. I am sure my hands would break if ever I try to receive them." She complimented him. Oikawa laughed at her words before ruffling her hair.
And she could feel the death glares of his fan girls shooting deadly arrows in her direction. She sweat dropped and laughed nervously.
"Don't boost his ego L/N. He'll not stop bragging afterwards," Makki called out from behind the captain. "Shut up Makki!," Oikawa scowled while the latter just snickered.
"So L/N, what do you think about the manager thing?," Iwaizumi asked walking upto her. Everyone else perked up at his question and waited for her answer.
She flashed them a small and warm smile.
"I would love to be."
Oikawa had a wide smile whereas others cheered. She laughed at their reactions.
While it was all rainbows on the court, the bleachers were all gloomy. Oikawa's fan girls were clearly upset by the choice and glared daggers at the newly appointed manager.
Y/N was conversing with Kunimi, when the coach called out to her. She was confused to see Iwaizumi standing next to the coach with a white piece of folded cloth in his hand.
Her eyes widened as he unfolded the cloth. It was their school jacket with Aoba Johsai written in bold and turquoise.
She carefully wore it and her eyes searched for the captain. When she found him, she flashed a bright grin. Oikawa chuckled and gestured everyone else to gather beside him. Her heart swelled up at their words.
